It offers superb single-core performance, running at a base clock rate of 3.8GHz. You also get eight cores and up to sixteen threads to tear through games that can take advantage of this kind of power.
The Ryzen 7 5800X is unlocked, letting you open up even more performance. It is a relatively cool running processor, making it even easier to overclock. And that is on a CPU that can already top 100 frames per second in popular games.

Add ReviewThe Ryzen 7 5800X is a superb processor for gaming. It offers eight cores of high performance power to tear through levels of all of your favorite games, helping you reach over 100 frames per second for smooth gameplay. And the fact that it is unlocked means there is potential for even more, if you so choose.
But AMD doesn’t include a cooler, which will add to its already hefty price tag for a processor in this range. It also doesn’t have any integrated graphics, meaning it isn’t a great choice if you’re building a system for entry-level gaming with an eye to upgrade as you go.
